Resumo
The article analyzes the expansion of sugarcane industry in areas of
Cerrado, predominantly in the state of Goias, which has been occur-
ring because of governmental incentives for renewable energy pro-
duction consolidating the Agro-Energy Plan (2006 to 2011), issued
by the Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA). Besides the cultivation of
sugarcane been an alternative source to fossil fuels, (a mean of harvesting renewable energy), this crop also empowers companies to ma-
rket some products resulting from the production of alcohol and sugar,
giving sustainable perspective to this business. This article aims at a
critical expansion of sugarcane production on the Cerrado, especially
in the consolidation and creation of new industrial units in the State
of Goias. Such expansion brings new challenges, especially related to
socio-environmental conflicts arising from the expansion process of
monocultures and loss of biodiversity, maintenance and expansion of
degrading forms of work in the sugarcane fields and pressure on the
family farmers, who lose competitiveness and reduce the rate of food
production.
